South Dakota State University’s Student Support Services Program has received a $235,689 grant that will provide operational funding for four years.
The program serves students who fall into one of three categories: first-generation, low-income or those with a disability.
The program is aimed at helping students at high risk of being unable to complete their education. It provides academic, financial and personal advising, tutorial services, priority registration, scholarship opportunities to help with college costs, instruction in basic study skills and assistance in accessing other campus support services.
This is the second four-year cycle of the grant that the university has received. The program initially was funded in 2001.
With renewal of the grant, Student Support Services will implement a program that looks at courses with a high D, F or withdrawal rate. Working with faculty members, SSS locates students who’ve done well in the class and are willing to take it again along with SSS students.
Student leaders go over the notes and help the other students.
